Our most vigorous line is ideal for 12-in. (30-cm) and larger containers and baskets, as well as landscapes.

Mounds of color hold up in the heat and rain.

Includes a range of bright, eye-catching colors and novelties.

These varieties have nicely matched habits, making production planning easier.

NEW Merlot Star: Vigorous like Pink. High light and warm temperatures will produce more of the star pattern.NEW Purple: Features a habit to match Blue.

NEW Watermelon Red: The most compact genetic in the series. Cold night temperatures in trial locations like California and West Chicago make the genetic more compact. Watermelon Red is just as vigorous as Blue when grown under warm night and day conditions at trial locations in Texas, Florida and North Carolina.NEW White: Habit matches Pink.

Comments: Cool temperatures and high light will reduce or eliminate any need for PGRs. Monitor regularly for high pH and possible iron deficiency. Flowering will be best as days lengthen in late Spring and Summer. Daylength of more than 14 hours will hasten flowering.

We’ve trialed ColorRush in the ground in various climates. Time and time again, it lives up to its name by providing massive mounds of vibrant color. Here are some best practices you can follow to get ColorRush ready for landscape applications.

West Region

Finish in an outdoor cold frame, where it can receive natural night temperatures as low as 32˚ F (0°C), but have some form of greenhouse roof protection to avoid frost exposure. PGRs in our trials were not needed when average daily temperature was below 54˚ F (12°C) in outdoor tunnels.

Midwest, Canada and Northeast Region

Based on our Midwest trials, we recommend a Bonzi spray at 5 ppm 10 days after stick and a Bonzi drench at 5 ppm 3 to 4 weeks after transplant, if needed. This keeps plants from growing together on the bench.

South and Southeast Region

Finish in an outdoor cold frame, where it can receive natural night temperatures as low as 32˚F (0°C), but should not be exposed to frost during the production cycle. Since many locations in the South or Southeast will not be able to provide an average daily temperature under 54˚F (12°C), we recommend a Bonzi drench between 1 to 3 ppm to control finished growth.
